We continue to have great turnouts at our meetings, so I thank everyone for making it out and being such a huge part of our chapters continued success.
This upcoming meeting for March will be our annual joint ASPE/SFPE meeting. The location and time will not change, however our topic is obviously geared
to be more towards a common engineering topic. Over the years, I've seen Sprinkler and Fire Pump design handled in different ways and by different
departments and individuals from firm to firm. Some firms have their own dedicated Fire Protection group, while others have their Plumbing or Mechanical
groups handle the design and engineering. Due to this, I continue to feel the need for our ASPE group to have more crossover topic between Plumbing and
Fire Protection as well as Plumbing and Mechanical. In addition to this joint ASPE/SFPE meeting, we will also be having a joint ASPE/ASHRAE meeting. I
look forward to seeing everyone at our upcoming meeting, and as always, if you have any topics that you feel would be beneficial to our ASPE group, please
reach out.

Our challenge is to keep as many of these members as possible. Its a broken record but engage
them and show them that participation is important. Introduce them to your other members and help
build working relationships.
If you haven't taken a look at the Ambassador program that ASPE developed, please take a look
Good work everyone. Stay engaged!
From National Vice President Membership Vincent Falkowski, 2/9/2018
We are well into February and I am very happy to report that my ASPE workload is increasing. We
had twenty-eight (28) new member applications this week, a record for as long as I can remember.
That's a half percent growth in one week.
